How do you edit the criteria rules for an existing Smart Collection?

1. Right-click on the Smart Collection and select Edit

2. In the Libraries pane, double-click the Smart Collection

3. Select the Smart Collection and choose Properties

4. Use the Inspector panel to modify settings

The correct answer is: In the Libraries pane, double-click the Smart Collection

To edit the criteria rules for an existing Smart Collection, double-clicking the Smart Collection in the Libraries pane is the correct approach. This method opens the Smart Collection’s settings, allowing you to adjust the filters and rules that define the collection. The process ensures a direct and user-friendly experience, enabling you to quickly access and modify the criteria without navigating through other menus. The Libraries pane acts as a centralized location for managing your collections and clips, and double-clicking provides immediate access for customization. In contrast, right-clicking may lead to a context menu that doesn’t offer the direct option for editing criteria, while selecting Properties may refer to different aspects of media rather than the specific criteria for a Smart Collection. Using the Inspector panel, while beneficial for adjusting some attributes, does not facilitate editing the criteria of Smart Collections directly either. This makes double-clicking a clear and efficient choice for making necessary adjustments.
